Answers:
Infection and abscess are basically the same thing. It sounds like you have an infected tooth. The abscess occurs when the pus finds an outlet where it makes a fistula/hole in the gums where it can drain. This is why the gums are beginning to swell and are sore b/c it is trying to find a place to come out.
